Chapter 27
The years kept rolling by.
Good years.
Full years.
Sarah turned twelve.
Tommy turned five.
They were the best of friends.
Always together.
Always getting into trouble.
Always making us laugh.
Sophie was now the head of the entire allergy department at the hospital.
She was famous in her field.
She traveled all over the world speaking at conferences.
Just like I used to.
But she always made it home for dinner.
Always.
Ryan was now the chief of emergency medicine.
He’d saved hundreds of lives.
Including three kids who’d gone into anaphylactic shock.
Full circle.
Jessica and Maya’s twins were in high school now.
Beautiful girls.
Smart.
Kind.
Sophie was still their doctor.
And they still called me Aunt Sarah.
Daniel and Lisa were in their seventies now.
Still happy.
Still traveling.
Daniel was the best grandfather in the world.
He taught Sarah to fish.
He taught Tommy to play baseball.
He came to every recital.
Every game.
Every birthday.
He’d spent twenty-five years making up for that one terrible night.
And he’d more than succeeded.
Linda and Mark were retired too.
They spent their days spoiling their own grandkids.
